Losing weight is challenging in and of itself for most people. For those who are struggling to do so, the inclusion of IGF-1 has recently become a highly discussed tool to aid in the weight loss efforts.

Benefits of IGF-1

IGF-1 is highly linked to optimal sugar use in the body, which can make it a powerful component in your efforts to lose weight. When properly administered, it can aid in the weight loss process.

IGF-1 is also known for its ability to increase muscle mass. It can help in increasing the development of lean muscle body tissue, which will also help smooth out or help improve the shape of users. This means that there will be body composition shifts. The pounds won’t melt off; you will gradually appear leaner because muscle development is balanced.

How IGF-1 Can Affect You

IGF-1 alone won’t result in weight loss but can help in lean muscle development. However, incorporating IGF-1 alongside a balanced diet together with increased cardiovascular and resistance workouts will result in faster weight loss over time.

IGF-1 is not promoted as a weight loss tool. Weight loss is a side effect of IGF-1 use. When using IGF-1 more lean muscle mass is developed, more energy contributes to better workouts, and improved recovery times allow less time between workouts.

Healthy Use of IGF-1

Including IGF-1 as a part of a healthy, balanced diet plan, can help in shift body composition and therefore affect metabolism. When your body is burning more calories and developing additional lean muscle mass, it is likely that increased weight loss in a shorter period will happen.
